FreeBSD 4.8 Release Delayed Until Mar 24

Posted by timothy on from the when-it's-ready-it'll-be-ready dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD Release Engineering Team's Murray Stokley indicates in his email that the latest FreeBSD 4.8 release will need to be postponed until March 24 in order to include suggested fixes related to the XFree86 4.3.0 port. After a complete package rebuild, they plan to release FreeBSD 4.8 RC2 first. Murray requests everyone to continue testing the XFree86 4.3.0 port to ensure a quality release."

    It's nice to see SOMEONE taking the time to do things right. SuSE could learn a thing or two from them. I'm starting to equate them with the American automotive manufacturers of the Linux world.

    Can we wait until *after* the release before announcing it?

    Remember, that means wait until you get a PGP-signed email from Murray Stokely before you post a story.
